Pednolver Apartment 3
About the home
With three enormous bay windows from which to gaze upon the Atlantic, this middle apartment feels like a giant turret-room, surrounding you with stunning vistas of the sea at every turn.
With panoramic town sea and coastal views, Huer's Watch is aptly named after the traditional town huer, whose role was to watch out to sea for tell-tale signs of pilchard shoals and alert the townsfolk of their arrival.
Beautifully presented, the whole apartment exudes comfort, warmth and homeliness. The lounge/ diner has three huge windows providing extraordinary views and an overwhelming impression you are suspended above the very sea itself. With the property commanding such an enviable corner location, you might even get the chance the watch the sun rise and set without even leaving the room. In fact, with comfy Tetrad sofas, including a double sofa bed, dining table, and gas-powered wood burning stove to compliment the period feel of exposed granite walling, you may never have to.
In the bedroom, the king-size bed and a floor-to-ceiling bay window might just lure you away from the hypnotic scenes of the living room. As with all the apartments, the bedroom is finished with subtle, personal touches that make this feel like it's your home, not just a place to rest your head.
Entering the well-equipped oak and polished granite kitchen with its Belfast sink and view down over St Ives and the harbour would encourage even the most reluctant cook to tie on an apron and pick up one of the Rick Stein cook books off the shelf.
The large bathroom continues to impress, recently refitted to a very high standard, it's as quirky as it is quality.
In the end, you can't help thinking, just like everything about these apartments… 'it's all just so very Pednolver'.

The St Ives area
On 14th July 2007, The Guardian newspaper named the Cornish culture capital, St Ives, as its seaside town of the year. A star-studded panel of judges, including Bill Bryson, Rick Stein and John Betjeman's daughter, Candida Lycett Green, came to the decision after debating the pros and cons of 12 short-listed coastal towns and cities from across Britain and Ireland.
Stein, known worldwide as the patron of Padstow but who has been going to St Ives since his childhood, was one of many keen advocates of the town.
"The thing I really love about St Ives is that it is on two beaches, so you get two aspects of the ocean, which makes it very romantic and quite unusual for a British resort. I think of it as the big brother of Padstow."
St Ives also scored heavily for its rugged views, exhilarating cliff top walks, the good surf at Porthmeor Beach and, of course, its cultural offerings, with judges keen to note its burgeoning new art talent as well as the Tate Gallery (specialising in modern Cornish art) and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.
Panel member Alastair Sawday declared, "I have a special love for St Ives...it has everything a seaside town needs". He went on to commend balmy beaches, great surf, fantastic fish, superb coastal walks and an infectious convivial buzz.
Some lesser-known delights of St Ives that came up during the judging process include the regular appearances of basking sharks and seals, the delightful branch line railway link to St Erth, the delicious fish-and-chip takeaway downstairs at the Porthminster Café, and the curious tradition of "silver ball hurling" - during which a silver ball is thrown through the streets by children on Feast Monday in February.
SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST
THE STYLISH SEASIDE TOWN OF ST. IVES IS THE UK’S LAST GREAT BARGAIN
By ALEX ROBERTSON TEXTOR
EXPERIENCE CORNWALL: Charm and coastline in St. Ives.Posted: 3:06 am
August 19, 2008
AS London has become more and more expensive for Americans, Yankee visitors to the capital have collected many a horror story. It is perversely therapeutic to catalogue the outrageous prices for things: $50 for breakfast; $250 for a grubby shoebox of a hotel room with a crappy bed; $8 for a single ride on the Tube.
Behind the hysterical
laughter, there's a panic.
Is there any place in England still affordable?
The answer, of course, is yes. In some cases -
Cornwall, for instance - they are a must-visit.
Despite legions of summertime tourists and a real estate market that has shut out many locals, England's temperate far southwest remains relatively affordable for American visitors.
Cornwall is known for its surfing schools, the cheesy resort town of Newquay, the pristine Isles of Scilly and its untamed coast.
The sixth Celtic nation after Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man and Brittany, Cornwall boasts a resuscitated language, an omnipresent flag and a regional pride that manifests in countless ways. (There's a T-shirt, worn very seriously, with the message, "Cornwall is Next to England . . . like Wales.")
In the first tier of beautiful Cornish seaside towns is St. Ives, an art colony turned beach town whose narrow streets throng with tourists during the balmy summer months.
Long a magnet for artists from the UK and well beyond, the Cornish beach town features everything you might want in a British summer seaside idyll - proximity to an undeveloped coastline, stylish boutique hotels, outstanding restaurants, broad beaches, good surfing, galleries and museums.
St. Ives has its top hotels with rates in the $260-$300 range, of course. What's notable is the range of well-designed guesthouses with far cheaper rates.
Perhaps the most charming is Pebble Hotel, now in its fourth season (high
season doubles from $184).
With modern rooms and outstanding breakfasts, Pebble is a rare value in the UK these days.
You can go even cheaper, though - the very tiny Copper Beech Bed & Breakfast offers a double room for $129 in high season. Also on the lower end of things, simple accommodations can be found at the Atlantic View Guesthouse, where high-season doubles without breakfast can be booked for $107.
For grub, there's the
outstanding Porthminster Café, with its irresistible menu, sourced in large part locally (average lunch $31; average dinner $47).
It's not exactly cheap, but it provides good value for the level of sophistication.
For more budget-conscious gourmands, there's the Cornish Deli, packed with local products. Sandwiches begin at $7, while at dinner, tapas-style dishes run from $10.
The town's artists' legacy is on view at the Tate St. Ives, one of four Tate Museums in the UK. The museum's agenda in part is to provide a context for the emergence of St. Ives as a centre of modernist art production and a home for artists from the 1920s on. (Entrance is $11.50.)
Hikers should hike the almost seven-mile stretch of the South West Coast Path from St. Ives to Zennor.
It's a moderately difficult walk with lots of dips and curves. (Wear hiking shoes!)
The views are awesome, and there's a pub in the gorgeous village of Zennor for post-hike relaxation. Return by bus or group taxi, or bus to Zennor and walk in the other direction back to St. Ives.
The downside of St. Ives, if there is one, is in its very quaint atmosphere, which can feel a bit precious. Yet, with the mist and the fresh air, surfers wandering down to the beach, and bakeries selling Cornish pasties and saffron cakes, St. Ives'
cuteness is inarguably
distinctive.
For all of its charms and character, Cornwall remains one of the least affluent regions in the UK, so it has not escaped the attentions of second-home buyers. Property has become so expensive that many locals have been priced out of home ownership many times over, and some who settled happily in St. Ives decades ago cannot afford to stay.
Luckily, you can still afford to visit.

There's not much we can add to the previous reviews - we stayed at Pednolver 3 last week having originally discovered it via its webcam page (and checked it out on Trip Advisor) and it really is exactly as described and reviewed - amazing! The apartment is well and thoughtfully equipped and is tastefully and quirkily decorated. It's also much bigger than the photos make it look! The house is only a short walk into town and has its own private parking spaces which, in St Ives, is a massive plus point. Obviously the biggest feature of the apartment is the picture windows which give a panoramic view over the harbour and bay - there genuinely can't be a better placed location in the whole of St Ives. Mark has kindly provided a small dvd library for guests to use, but with a view like that we didn't turn on the tv all week. Mark goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable (the welcome basket was as unexpected as it was generously provisioned) and deserves 5 stars all of his own. Would definitely recommend (and already have) and will be going back as soon as we can. Maybe next time we'll manage to share a coffee with Mark... |

Apt 3 is everything it says on the box and more! The views from the front room, bedroom & kitchen are wonderful. Should you feel you are missing out on what is going on around the harbour but haven't the energy quite yet to wonder down there you can pull up a chair by one of the many windows and simply watch the world go by. The bedroom is light and airy with a great view and more importantly a really comfy bed. There is plenty of storage space for all weather clothing. The bathroom is pristine & really spacious with a great shower and deep bath to soak in. The apartment is full of quirky antiques. The kitchen is spotless and new with all the mod cons. There is plenty of space here for cooking and kids to come in and out!! We were lucky enough to be allowed to use Apt 4 (thank you Mark) during our stay here also. Again, this apartment is light and airy with a great kitchen, pristine bathroom (great shower & bath that we couldnt get kids out of) and a stack of great books should you forget yours!! The bedroom is made up of the biggest bed we have ever seen with views over the harbour and also plenty of storage space for all. The best part of this apt is the balcony that seats two people comfortably and room for the kids to have a little play. When the sun did shine it was a lovely place to sit and watch harbour life with a chilled glass of wine or two! Everything is on your doorstep, beaches, cafes, bars and great restaurants. Perfect!! Response: Thankyou for your very kind comments and i'm glad you enjoyed your stay in Apts 3 and 4 (They make a fantastic "Maisonette" Apartments)It was lovely to meet you and the girls and i hope to see you all again sometime,Mark |
